This episode came out of a real conversation I had with friends before a conference hosted by Nick Vujicic, and what unfolded was one of those rare discussions where every thread pulled out something worth keeping. I talk about what it means to have someone champion you in rooms you are not in, and why you have to be that person for others too. I also break down why being multi-passionate is not a distraction but a multiplier. The real shift in thinking came from a bodybuilder who does not say she hopes she will not miss a workout. She says she will not. That distinction is everything. Key Takeaways Having someone who speaks highly of you in rooms you are not in is one of the most powerful forms of support you can receive or give. Being multi-passionate creates a synergistic effect where the discipline in one area directly sharpens your performance in another. You do not have to choose between passion and productivity. The same traits that make you great at one thing make you great at others. Winning looks different as your life grows. The mental medals earned through discipline often matter more than the finish line itself. Absolute commitment means removing hope from the equation. You do not hope to stay consistent. You decide you will not miss. Action Steps Identify one person in your life you genuinely believe in and make it a point this week to speak about their strengths in a conversation where they are not present. Sign up today for a goal, race, event, or competition that forces you into a structured commitment with a real deadline. Write down two areas of your life you are passionate about and identify three specific traits from one that directly strengthen the other. Notable Quote She wasn't saying I hope I don't mess up. It was a commitment. I am not going to miss. If you can just develop that mindset, you'll be surprised at what you're capable of in life.

 1868   New York Divorce ScandalBarbara Weisberg, author of Strong Passions: A Scandalous Divorce in Old New York: In 1850s New York, high-society figures Mary Stevens and Peter Strong marry, forming an enviable upper-class match.

Following her infant daughter's death, Mary confesses to an 18-month affair with Peter's brother, Edward. This revelation leads to a high-profile 1865 divorce trial, exposing elite secrets, legal custody battles, and the era's severe, double-standard matrimonial laws to an astonished public. (1)

What are you naturally good at? What makes you come alive? What breaks your heart enough that you feel like you have to do something about it? Those things may be pointing toward something deeper about the way God designed you. In this episode of Cornerstone Conversations, Pastor Josh continues the *In His Image* conversation by looking at our passions, gifts, hobbies, abilities, and desires, and asking how they can become ways we reflect the image of God in everyday life. They also dig into an important tension: not every desire should lead us. How can we tell the difference between something God has wired into us and something that has been distorted by selfishness, culture, or sin? From careers and hobbies to leadership, ministry, family, and even the moments that drain us, this conversation explores how to keep Jesus first, recognize the gifts already in our hands, and understand why following God's design will sometimes require sacrifice instead of simply doing what feels good.   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today?

Jade Harlow joined me for a personal and candid conversation about her more than 25 years in daytime television.Jade looked back at getting her start as Jessica Bennett on Passions, the wonderfully wild stories she experienced there and her love of horror films. She also shared memories from her time as Sheryl Connors on Days of our Lives and some of the incredible actors she has worked with throughout her career.Our conversation became especially personal when Jade opened up about her years playing Lianna Ramos on The Bay. She discussed going through a difficult period in her own life while playing Lianna, how the character sometimes mirrored what she was experiencing and why The Bay ultimately became such an important and healing chapter for her.Jade also shared touching memories of her friendship with the late Tristan Rogers and the kindness he showed her and The Bay creator Gregori J. Martin.We also talked about her move to Genoa City and taking on the role of Marie Kirkland on The Young and the Restless, her connection with Nick Newman and working opposite Joshua Morrow on their powerful addiction storyline.From Passions and Days of our Lives to The Bay and The Young and the Restless, Jade opened up about the experiences and people who have shaped her journey both on and off screen.

"Pagan Passions" by Randall Garrett and Laurence M. Janifer explores themes of desire and spirituality intertwined with the complexities of human relationships. This engaging narrative invites listeners to reflect on the nature of passion and belief, making it a timeless exploration of what drives people to seek connection and meaning in their lives. The book's enduring appeal lies in its ability to resonate with universal experiences of love, faith, and the search for identity. As listeners immerse themselves in this captivating tale, they may find echoes of their own struggles and aspirations, making it a relevant and thought-provoking experience for today's audience.

God did not make you randomly. He formed you with intention, wired you with a temperament, personality, interests, and passions, and through the Holy Spirit has given you gifts meant to bless the people around you. In this message from In His Image, Pastor Josh Hersey explores what Scripture says about being made on purpose for a purpose, how to separate God given design from character flaws that still need growth, and why understanding who God made you to be is part of learning to bear His image well. Walking through Genesis 2, Psalm 139, 2 Peter 1, Romans 12, and 1 Corinthians 10, Josh unpacks identity in Christ, spiritual gifts, Christian purpose, serving others, and the lies that try to pull us away from who God says we are. If you have ever wondered what you are passionate about, what your gifts are, or how God wants to use the way He wired you, this message gives you three simple questions to consider: What excites you? What fills you up? What breaks your heart?   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today? We would love to connect with you.

As we continue our series, “Building What Matters,” Pastor Don explores how God has uniquely called each of us to be part of one body and one mission. Through Ephesians 4 and 1 Corinthians 12, we're challenged to discover our SHAPE and use the gifts, passions, abilities, personality, and experiences God has given us to serve others and help build up the body of Christ.

In this episode of The Flourish Movement Podcast, we are joined by Principal Ian Worley, to explore the importance of having something outside of work that fills your cup.We unpack why so many school leaders struggle with recovery, and how finding a genuine passion outside of work can improve wellbeing, happiness, and longevity in the role. Ian shares his unexpected journey onto ABC's Muster Dogs, and how wholeheartedly stepping into this gave him the chance to properly disconnect, recharge, and reconnect with himself outside of being a principal.We explore the power of hobbies, goal setting, social connection, and making time for the things that are just for you. Ian also shares the flow-on impact this had, not just personally, but across his leadership, his family life, and his school community.We would like to take this opportunity to thank the NSW Primary Principals' Association, our learning partner in this podcast.

On this episode of Daily Creative, we explore the practical side of pursuing creative passions and scaling expertise. Starting with the lesser-told procedural journey of Julia Child—from first spark to eventual mastery—we examine what happens after finding your calling: the grind, the setbacks, and the systems that turn inspiration into legacy.We sit down with Ravi Gupta, author of The Invisible List, who reveals the invisible debts we accumulate with every passion left unpursued, and offers his fiercely singular approach to making real progress—one passion, one year at a time. Then, Amanda Northcutt joins us to unpack what happens when experts want to scale their impact, and why infrastructure, not just ideas, separates those who build thriving knowledge businesses from those who quickly burn out.Whether you're looking to resurrect a personal dream or codify your expertise for others, this episode is an unvarnished reminder: focus, finish, then build the container that lets your work reach who it needs to.Discussed In This Episode:Ravi Gupta's new book: The Invisible ListYear-as-unit approach to creative growth and skill developmentAmanda Northcutt's work at Level Up helping experts become CEOs of their own scalable businessesUseful frameworks for mapping and sequencing personal or professional projectsFive Key Learnings From The EpisodeThe unit of a year is optimal for transformation. Meaningful progress—from beginner to intermediate—in almost any domain is possible within a year if you are intentional and systematic about your approach. Annual themes give structure, promote memory, and keep the clock ticking productively.Pick one passion, not five. Spreading your energy across multiple projects guarantees only dabbling. Focus on a single pursuit allows for depth, completion, and a rewarding “bow” (milestone or output) at the end of your creative year.Design ambitions for your reality. Ambitions must fit your current resources and season—whether you're newly retired or a parent with 30 minutes a day. Tag your passions by what's realistic now versus later, and don't set yourself up for unnecessary frustration by overlooking context.Accomplices matter, but only after you've created something real. Peer groups, mentors, and supportive communities can accelerate growth and motivation. However, their participation is only meaningful when you've produced work or a container others can engage with or advocate for.Codification and infrastructure separate practitioners from entrepreneurs. As Amanda Northcutt notes, knowledge businesses thrive when their methodology is externalized, productized, and supported by systems—not when everything rides on an individual's network or bandwidth. Reach is less important than resonance and structural clarity.Bring Todd Henry to speak to your team or event at ToddHenry.com/speakingSee Todd Henry's books at ToddHenry.com/booksGet full interviews and bonus content for free!

Share a commentTemptation doesn't walk into your life carrying a warning label. It shows you the highlight reel, then asks you to decide fast. We start with that brutal reality and follow it straight into one of the most sobering moments in Scripture: King David, at the peak of success, choosing comfort over duty, boredom over vigilance, and desire over wisdom, until one look becomes a chain of choices he can't control.We slow down in 2 Samuel 11 and connect the dots: why idleness makes us vulnerable, how lust escalates, and why David's private compromises set the stage for public collapse. The details matter, including the warnings he receives, the cold, transactional way the encounter is recorded, and the two-word message that forces consequences into the open. Along the way we talk plainly about adultery, sexual integrity, and the way our culture normalizes “no strings attached” while ignoring relational wreckage, financial loss, emotional despair, and even physical realities like sexually transmitted diseases.But we don't leave you with fear. We end with a hopeful strategy rooted in Christian discipleship: one passion may feel irresistible until a greater passion arrives. Drawing from Paul's words, we explore what it looks like to put off the old self, renew your mind, and put on the new self through a deeper love for Christ, God's Word, the church, and the people who are also thirsty for something real. If you want practical spiritual growth that doesn't sugarcoat temptation, press play, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review with what hit you hardest.Learn more about twenty-five years of global impact, and reserve tickets to our gala. https://www.wisdomonline.org/mp/25 Learn more: https://www.wisdomonline.org/Support the show

Share a commentA single line can expose an entire life: “Forbidden lust is like someone dying of thirst while begging for salt.” We start there, then zoom out to a headline-worthy cautionary tale, Marcus Antony and Cleopatra, where desire doesn't stay personal. It rewrites priorities, fractures trust, and leaves empires and families paying the bill long after the thrill is gone. Then we turn to the story that still grabs readers thousands of years later: King David and Bathsheba in 2 Samuel 11. One reason this passage hits so hard is that the Bible suddenly shifts into slow motion, almost forcing us to watch each choice. We talk through why David is most vulnerable when life is easy, why staying home from battle matters, and how a second look becomes a settled craving. Along the way we connect the dots back to Deuteronomy 17, where God warned kings not to multiply power, wealth, or wives, and we name the uncomfortable truth that compromise often looks “fine” right up until it isn't. We also unpack the messenger's built-in alarms: Bathsheba is someone's daughter, tied to David's inner circle, and the wife of Uriah, one of David's mighty men.

Share a commentA single line can expose an entire life: “Forbidden lust is like someone dying of thirst while begging for salt.” We start there, then zoom out to a headline-worthy cautionary tale, Marcus Antony and Cleopatra, where desire doesn't stay personal. It rewrites priorities, fractures trust, and leaves empires and families paying the bill long after the thrill is gone. Then we turn to the story that still grabs readers thousands of years later: King David and Bathsheba in 2 Samuel 11. One reason this passage hits so hard is that the Bible suddenly shifts into slow motion, almost forcing us to watch each choice. We talk through why David is most vulnerable when life is easy, why staying home from battle matters, and how a second look becomes a settled craving. Along the way we connect the dots back to Deuteronomy 17, where God warned kings not to multiply power, wealth, or wives, and we name the uncomfortable truth that compromise often looks “fine” right up until it isn't. We also unpack the messenger's built-in alarms: Bathsheba is someone's daughter, tied to David's inner circle, and the wife of Uriah, one of David's mighty men.

What does it look like to raise a girl who is creative, courageous, resilient, and willing to step into the opportunities God places before her? On this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Melissa Bearden and Natalie Ambrose shine a spotlight on the entrepreneurial spirit in Christian girls—and explore how parents can help their daughters discover and steward the gifts, passions, and talents God has uniquely given them.  Entrepreneurship isn't simply about starting a business. For a Christian girl, it can be an opportunity to learn confidence, leadership, problem-solving, perseverance, and faithful stewardship while keeping Christ at the center. Melissa and Natalie discuss the qualities they see in Christian women who blaze new trails, from faith and vision to humility, teachability, diligence, and a willingness to wrestle through the ups and downs of success. They also explore the importance of helping girls pursue God's purpose rather than simply chasing a personal passion.  In a Raising Godly Girls Minute, AHG Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay encourages parents not to hold back young entrepreneurs simply because they are young. Whether a girl loves baking, making jewelry, designing, strategizing, or solving problems, small opportunities can teach her to take healthy risks, learn from failure, and invest her gifts in God's Kingdom. Melissa and Natalie offer practical ways families can give girls room to explore new interests, praise resilience rather than perfection, and keep their identities firmly rooted in Christ rather than in a particular talent or hobby.  The conversation also highlights how American Heritage Girls provides girls ages 5 to 18 with opportunities to explore passions, develop skills, practice Biblical leadership, and grow in resilience. From the Entrepreneurship and Biblical Leadership Badges to the many possibilities within AHG's Badge Frontiers, girls have countless opportunities to discover how God has wired them and consider how their gifts can be used to serve Him and others. Listeners will also hear about Heritage Headlines and the inspiring stories of AHG Alumnae who are following God into new territories.  Whether your daughter is already dreaming up her first business or simply loves creating, solving, leading, or serving, this episode offers encouragement to nurture her gifts while teaching her the most important lesson of all: her identity is not found in what she can accomplish, but in who she is in Christ.    Three Things to Consider:  Give your girl space to explore new hobbies, skills, and passions.  Praise her resilience and willingness to learn through failure—not just her performance or success.  Help her keep her identity rooted in the Lord, because passions may change, but her identity in Christ endures.    Scriptures Referenced:  1 Corinthians 12  Luke 14:28  Matthew 25:40    Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.       Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.    

Daniel Dydek preaches a message aimed at helping us look at our passions and desires to help us more align our lives with God's purpose for us.

Together, we examine The Morality of The Passions. Fr. Mike unpacks and explores the different elements of the definition of “passions”. He emphasizes that while passions, themselves, are neither good nor bad, there still is a moral component to them. It is what we do with our passions that can either contribute to virtue or vice.

What does a biotech CEO who has brought eight orphan drugs to market have in common with a bestselling novelist? In this case, they are the same person. Today's guest is Fredric Price, who writes award-winning fiction as David Hirshberg. His newest novel "Crossing the Bronx" completes a trilogy that began with "My Mother's Son" and continued with "Jacobo's Rainbow." Price is living proof that remarkable lives show up everywhere. He's been a CEO for decades, founded a biotech firm after he thought he had retired, is a book publisher, and only started writing fiction past middle age. In this conversation we talk about why storytelling is the real skill behind both raising millions for a drug and writing a novel, the unforgettable 30-second video he showed the FDA that changed everything, why he uses 1952 and 1955 to talk about 2026, and why he has no desire to write a pharma thriller. This is an episode about second acts, about never actually retiring, and about the idea that the technical details are just the skeleton — story is the muscle, flesh, and eyes.Get your copy of Crossing the Bronx by Fredric PriceAs an Amazon Associate, Now I've Heard Everything may earn a commission from qualifying purchases.Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Guest Background 01:51 Fredric Price's Diverse Career and Passions 05:00 The Skeleton and Flesh of a Good Story 07:41 Using History to Reflect the Present 11:11 Themes of Family and Rivalry in His Novels 13:24 Writing Without Being Handcuffed by History 14:45 Comparison of Satisfaction: Novels vs FDA Approval 16:13 Recognition and Success in Writing and Pharma 17:35 Future Projects and Reinventions 18:47 Closing Remarks and AppreciationGuest InformationFredric PriceWebsite1999 interview with Barry Gibbons For more intriguing and engaging interviews each week, subscribe now on:Spotify Apple Podcasts YouTube

Most ministry leaders implode because they fail to pay attention to their internal struggles. Dave Wiedis is the author of The Spiritually Healthy Leader: Finding Freedom from Self-Sabotage and the founder of ServingLeaders Ministries. Whether it's self-sabotage by acting against our self-interest, hurting others, or damaging our relationship with God, Dave explains that many people are dominated by unidentified ruling passions, like seeking success, affirmation, respect, or avoiding pain or embarrassment. Such pursuits can supplant the Lordship of Christ by becoming functional idols. To lead well and avoid self-sabotage we must repent by honestly and humbly identifying our ruling passions and submitting to the lordship of Jesus Christ in every area of our lives. TAKEAWAYS Whatever drives you has the capacity to control you, and human passions must never take the place of Christ in our lives Submitting to the lordship of Christ requires humility and honesty You must reflect on and heal from your past experiences that gave rise to your ruling passions to become a great leader Those who are unaware of their own ruling passions pose a unique danger as leaders

This week on the podcast, Patrick and Tracy welcome Natalie Zina Walschots, author of VILLAIN. About VILLAIN: The hench once called Anna, now known to her colleagues and enemies as the Auditor, has carved out a wicked name for herself. Any superhero unlucky enough to cross her path knows her potential and powers. Surely, her recent success should taste sweet: she has an incredible job with lots of perks, her boss will literally annihilate anyone who crosses her, and her greatest enemy, the former hero Supercollider, has been utterly defeated—literally ground to a still-living pulp. But the Auditor still has her sights set on a greater work: destroying The Draft, the organization that makes, trains, and manages the world's most powerful superheroes. These “heroes” have shown time and time again that they do more harm than good (she has the spreadsheets to prove it), and now is the time to stop the damage at its source. Yet all is not well for the Auditor and her fellow evildoers. Her employer, Leviathan—the world's most feared supervillain—is not coping well with Supercollider's defeat at someone else's hands. As their relationship deepens, her work-life balance increasingly involves navigating the feelings of someone who doesn't believe they have any. Moreover, her unlikely ally and unexpected friend, Quantum Entanglement, has reappeared, forcing the Auditor to confront all the ways they deceived each other. Tension and uncertainty haunt the Auditor, and the fear that their triumph is about to crumble looms over all of them. The Auditor soon finds herself facing down an opponent unlike any she's taken on before—not another superhero, but someone like her, someone much more dangerous: The Draft's Chief Marketing Officer. Their conflict isn't a test of physical prowess, but ideas, and as their fight escalates, she’ll need more than preternatural pattern recognition, data analysis, and a horrific imagination to meet this challenge. It's guerrilla ad warfare, and the Auditor might have finally met her match. About Natalie Zina Walschots: Natalie cultivates fandoms, builds new communities, develops character voices, leads interactive fiction workshops, designs alternate reality games, constructs branching narratives, and most mornings opens Tumblr before opening her eyes. Her client list includes scrappy indie game studios, critically acclaimed television shows, mixed martial artists, print magazines, talk shows, NGOs, and a few more that defy categorization. Natalie's work wins awards, grows audiences, and introduces people to the thing they often end up loving most in the world. As a writer and journalist, you can find her work in the National Post, The Walrus, Quill & Quire, The Globe & Mail, and beyond. She's the author of two poetry collections, DOOM: Love Poems for Supervillains and Thumbscrews, and the novels Hench and its sequel Villain. Hench, dedicated to the plight of hench-people (the downtrodden and often expendable employees of supervillains), was a finalist on the 2021 season of Canada Reads and a nominee for the Locus Award for Best First Novel. Natalie has presented at Console-ing Passions, CGSA, Digital Odyssey, TCAF/CSSC, and more. She is an active member of Dames Making Games, and has previously worked with Pixelles, Concordia's Technoculture, Art and Games Lab, and The Hand Eye Society. She can be found causing trouble at DMG or talking about heavy metal on Banger TV. She has often been in the newspaper for swearing. She lives in Nova Scotia with her partner and four cats.

Dr. Kelley Mathews Sharifa Stevens If you, like most of us in this audience, are Protestant, be prepared for a treat as you listen to this conversation about women saints we should know. Dr. Kelley Mathews joins host Sharifa Stevens to discuss a number of women from the early church who were named saints because of their faith and actions. You'll come away excited and perhaps surprised as you hear about these godly women who played major roles in church history. They teach us great lessons from their love for the Lord, their tenacity and bold courage.

I'll be your host for today, Sharifa Stevens. And today our topic is going to be about women, saints that we all should know about. I'm really excited to dig into this topic, and we're going to have our expert Dr. Kelley Mathews, explain more to us about these women whom we should know. And I want to tell you about Kelley. I bet most of you know Dr. Kelley already. But let me tell you a little bit more, just in case. Kelley Mathews, Dr. Kelley Mathews, has ministered to the church through writing and editing for over 25 years. She's a coauthor of eight books, including 40 Questions About Women in Ministry. And also she's a freelance writer and editor. A former women's ministry director and Bible study teacher. Kelley has been married to John, a school administrator, for almost 29 years. They are parents to four active, mostly grown children. Kelley earned her Master of Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary and earned a Doctor of Ministry in New Testament from Houston Theological Seminary just in 2025. Welcome. Now, I can't call you Dr. Kelley. Why? Kelley >> You kind of overdid it there. That's all. Sharifa >> That's my job. It's my job to overdo it. Kelley >> Okay. Okay. I'll take it from you. Not from anybody else, though. No, it's so new. It's still very strange to hear it. So that's all. Sharifa >> You earned it. So I'm using it. Kelley >> I had a lot of fun in that program, so if I could still go back to class, I would. You know, I shouldn't say that too loudly around here. Sharifa >> Tuition-free class? Yeah. Kelley >> Yeah. No, it was a great program over in Houston. So and that's a lot of what we're going to cover today is what I studied there. So yeah. Sharifa >> Excellent. Well let's dive in. We're discussing women saints who we should know. But before we get into the specific saints, I just wanted to know, is knowing the saints the same as venerating or worshiping them? Kelley >> No. Absolutely not. This is basically history. And I was a history major for my bachelor's degree. And so coming full circle with this theological study, I naturally went to the history of the church. So New Testament kind of morphed also into the early church, those first few centuries of what was the church getting up to? And so knowing the people. I mean I would assume that a lot of Christians would recognize names like Augustine or Aquinas or maybe Saint Francis or Luther. We're just giving you female equivalents, basically. So, yes, just as there were fathers of the church, there were mothers of the church. Sharifa >> I dig it. Thank you. Okay, so let's get into specifics.

Most Enneagram teaching is very good at describing what's wrong with you. This episode is about what's right. Every Enneagram type has a Passion — the chief emotional distortion the ego runs when it's disconnected from its truest self. Anger for the One. Pride for the Two. Deceit for the Three. Each of the nine types has one, and most of us have spent a lot of energy trying to manage ours without quite knowing what it is. But every type also has a Virtue. Not a moral achievement you add on top — a quality that naturally arises in the heart when the Passion loosens its grip. Serenity. Humility. Authenticity. Equanimity. Non-Attachment. Courage. Sobriety. Innocence. Right Action. These aren't things you build. They're things that emerge when you stop being in the way of yourself. In this final episode of the Enneagram Essentials series, Anthony and I walk through all nine Passions and their corresponding Virtues. I share what Equanimity feels like in my own life as a Four — when I manage to access it — and we close with two honest answers to the question of how any of this actually becomes real: contemplative practice, and a particular kind of willingness to stop running from pain. This is a hopeful episode. Everything in the series has been building toward this. The Enneagram has always been pointing here.   This is Episode 5 of 5 in the Enneagram Essentials series. All five episodes are available now wherever you listen to Typology.   RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE:  The Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron  The Story of You by Ian Morgan Cron Enneagram Assessment | Find Your Type Ian's speaking and organizational work   Follow Ian on Instagram | Facebook | TikTok | YouTube 

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, Peter Boettke sits down with Kristen Collins for a wide-ranging conversation on Adam Smith's moral philosophy and its intersection with theories of justice, sympathy, and political power. The conversation moves through the relationship between sympathy, moral imagination, and the origins of our sense of justice, drawing on Michelle Schwarze's work on sympathetic resentment, before turning to why economists have historically misread Smith as indifferent to the poor and powerless — despite Smith's own repeated siding with the weak against the powerful. Boettke and Collins also explore Smith's "man of system" passages as a caution against imposing utopian visions by force, discuss Judith Shklar's "liberalism of fear" in relation to Hayek, and close with an extended look at Collins's research on Jeremy Bentham's little-known Sotomion — a proposed institution designed to protect unmarried pregnant women from social shame while preserving their social connections, offering a striking counterpoint to Bentham's more famous Panopticon.Dr. Kristen Collins is a Senior Fellow with the F.A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics and a Senior Research Fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. She hosts the Virtual Sentiments podcast, which features conversations with scholars and practitioners reflecting on the ethics and politics of technology.

Join us in a conversation with Dave Wiedis as we take a deeper dive into the heart of sexual wholeness. In this episode, we explore how the motives and idols of the heart intersect with and drive our sexual brokenness and how to find freedom.A personal recommendation from ServingLeaders Assistant Clinical Director, Dr. Penny Freeman: “It can be so hard for believers to respond well to our current culture, where gender is determined by how we feel. It's helpful to think about sexual maturity and how our ruling passions intersect with that.” Get Dave's book, The Spiritually Healthy Leader on Amazon here. 

Episode Summary Same-sex attraction can become an intensely lonely battle, especially when shame and fear keep a struggling believer from seeking help. In this concluding episode of the Twisted Passions series, Ryan Swanson shares three listener testimonies that point to dependence on Christ, honest accountability, wise boundaries, and a willingness to let God use a redeemed story. The episode challenges both those seeking victory and those who want to help them: condemnation alone is not enough, pride must give way to humility, and God often provides the right people to help us walk faithfully. Topics Discussed Why Christians must do more than simply preach against homosexuality Biblical identity and the way sin twists desires and emotions Turning to Christ instead of trying to overcome temptation through willpower Confiding in mature, trustworthy believers and seeking accountability Breaking the lonely cycle of pride through humility Choosing wise boundaries instead of making provision for temptation The value of godly mentorship, biblical masculinity, and biblical femininity Moving from fear and shame to a willingness to share Christ's work Using personal testimony to help others pursue victory A forthcoming series on less-discussed biblical passages about purity Key Takeaways Jesus understands temptation and remains the believer's unfailing source of strength. God often uses mature mentors, faithful friends, and accountability partners to help us walk in victory. Humility opens the door to help, while pride keeps spiritual battles hidden and isolated. Wise relationships and prudent boundaries both have a place in resisting temptation. A testimony should magnify what Christ has done rather than keep us imprisoned by shame. Victory is bigger than personal relief; God can use a surrendered life to strengthen others in the same fight.

What are the best ways for us to support our kids' interests? Should we help them become the best gymnasts and singers they can be, as soon as they show glimmers of true interest? Or are they better off exploring many interests, without all of that added pressure? From travel sports to elite ballet training and specialized extracurriculars, childhood activities feel increasingly professionalized, with a lot less room for beginners, dabblers, or kids who just want to have fun. This week, we're wondering whether encouraging curiosity and exploration may be healthier than pushing early specialization. We discuss: The difference between supporting a child's interests and managing their career Why exploration—not specialization—is often the key to discovering lifelong passions How parents can praise effort and enjoyment instead of performance Why your child's purpose may be much bigger than any single job or talent How to encourage resilience when interests change or dreams evolve Here are links to some of the resources mentioned in the episode: Lindsay Karp for Business Insider: My parents told me to have a career that could support me.
